Lou Reda's An American Table

Excellent food, service, and the fried green tomatoes were amazing! Portion size was good, price reasonable! 10/10 and loved our waitress:

Ms. Wendy, you are amazing!! We stopped in town to rail fan and wanted to check out a local restaurant. YELP never fails, led us straight to LouReda's and so stoked about this place!! We called to place our takeout order and Ms. Wendy was so sweet and helpful, you could hear her smiling through the phone. She did not rush us through our order and was careful to make sure our order was as expected. Ms. Wendy brought the food out to the vehicle and she packaged and labeled everything, she didn't miss a beat. Not to forget, she gave us some great recommendations for beautiful parks nearby so we could enjoy our meals. Now, the meal. Amaaaaaazing, delicious, wow!! We ordered Smoked Wings (which we will eat later), Smoked Turkey Burgers, Brisket Burger, Sweet Potato Fries, Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Cake, and Bread Pudding. Everything was delicious and well-made. We are already planning our next rail fanning adventure with sure plans to order from LouReda's again!!! We were too focused on eating to take pics

We stumbled upon this gem while traveling to the beach. Quiet and unassuming, we weren't sure if our casual attire was appropriate but soon realized all are welcome. Our server, I think her name was Michelle, greeted us immediately with a big smile! She was my favorite part of the meal. Attentive, funny and outgoing! We ordered the smoked wings, which were delicious! Had a hint of cinnamon as well. Huge portion of 5 giant wings. For dinner my husband had the brisket and 1/2 rack of ribs. He said they were very good and the ribs fell right off the bone. I had the Mac and cheese with blackened shrimp which was to die for. It is very rich with an ample portion, so needless to say, we have leftovers! Definitely would stop here again!

Sat at the bar and split a beet salad and chicken sandwich. Both were tasty with the chicken sandwich providing heat and crunch. Bartender was very helpful and suggested a local IPA which was very flavorful. The sister restaurant is currently closed but this was very close to our hotel.

Friendly staff. Great food. The only restaurant in Rocky mount I would really go back to!
